Lexington Civil War Battle Memorial The cannon on the grounds of Lexington’s Central College Park was originally on the USS Constitution. Ike Skelton’s father managed to get it moved to Lexington. The cannon was recently restored and on Veterans Day, it was rededicated by Congressman Skelton who gave the speech using some excerpts from his Dad’s original dedication. A monument at the battlefield honors all those who died during the Battle of Lexington. The grave site is the burial ground for five unknown soldiers. The tree adds a lot of character and it won’t last much longer. 5 Unknown U S soldiers Battle of Lexington September 18, 19, 20, 1861 Reburied November 11,1932 Photos by Al McCormick, ‘67 The Red Dragon | January 2011 | 13
